@immaculatetaste @BrodieOnLinux So is the worst case scenario here that the Fediverse ends up being a niche? Feels like that's already the case. Counterexample would also be Email. But I do hope that Threads is just the gateway drug to get the normies federated and they then will spread out to other servers once they see what's possible. I also think you need Meta to grow the Fediverse because they can handle a 100mil+ users and we couldn't right now.
